Ed,

I'm sorry that your cancer is back. I understand that your Docs say no more radiation but I still can't help wonder if there are radiation options that can get you treatment without being more than you can take. For example, fractionated treatment allows healthy cells to partially recover between treatments so the radiation does less damage in the area around the tumor. Fractions can be done with gamma knife, cyber-knife, and probably other delivery systems (I'm not a Doc or a scientist but I had fractionated treatment via cyber-knife a few years back).

Good luck.

BN
